Easter Island is in chaos, and the northeast is not peaceful.

In addition to the dreadnought group and the traveling caravan, Zhang Yang and Qian Taiduo's daily quarrels, the locust army did not have a good time in the mining town.

Lao Ma and the "second master" were loaded with hundreds of tons of grain and various supplies, crossed the strait, and advanced to the mining town overnight.

As a result, neither Song Lian's plastic friendship nor Nantes's so-called one-sided relationship helped them enter the door smoothly, and they were finally asked to hand over 100 tons of grain to enter.

That's a whole hundred tons, Nantes they had to rack their brains with mutants for dozens of tons of food, and now people just open the door and make 100 tons for nothing, and this food is too easy to come.

The "second master" disagreed, and the old horse relied on her to find another place.

They flipped through the map, and finally found that the only place they could go to at the moment was Dashun City.

The vicinity of the reserve grain depot in Shinan District has been cleaned up before, and mutants do not run around in winter, so it should not have been reoccupied over there.

It's just that there are hidden dangers in this place, and the mutants are in a semi-dormant state in winter, which is quite safe, but when the spring flowers bloom, this place will be the first to suffer.

They are not only a flying locust army of about 600 people, but also more than 1,000 old and young women and children, as well as a number of lathes, forging presses and other large machinery and equipment, and they may all be lost there by then.

The "manager" added: "Dashun City is not powered now!" ”

The "second master" is right to think about it, without electricity, the arsenal will not be able to produce, and it is useless to move there. However, after thinking about it, she decided to make a gesture of evacuation first.

"This thing is like bargaining for buying things, they ask for a price all over the sky, we pay back the money on the spot, and if the deal fails, we will leave." For this kind of negotiation, the "second master" has to go out in person.

She ran to call the door, and the guards passed it twice, but the price was not negotiated at all.

The "second master" had inquired with Nantes before, and the city gate tax in this place was a pound of rations per person. She offered to pay two catties. The people of the arsenal are all added up, and rounding them up can be counted as two thousand people, which is four thousand catties and two tons of rations.

The faceless leader over there, although he lowered, still demanded 90 tons, apparently because they had nowhere to go.

"This gap is too big, the old lady won't enter!" She snorted and turned her head away.

Lao Ma directly pulled out the Gatling Vulcan Cannon and looked at the high wall outside the mining town: "Forget it!" ”

The "second master" hurriedly persuaded him that fighting humans and fighting mutants are two completely different concepts, not to mention unnecessary casualties, and it is also possible to run into Nantes's reverse scales.

This kid is deeply influenced by Xiao Yang, and always avoids killing people as much as possible, if he breaks the taboo, it will be difficult to explain when he comes back to take over the team.

At this time, the "manager" stood up and came up with a very interesting idea: "Let's camp on the spot and live against their walls!" ”

The management, including the four elders, was revealed

Out of the puzzle.

The "manager" saw that he had managed to attract everyone's attention, so he cleared his throat: "I just secretly released a drone to reconnoiter on the other side of the fence, guess what?" ”

The "second master" slapped him on the helmet: "When is it, you still sell Guanzi!" ”

The "manager" was not annoyed, nor did he speak, and he looked unfathomable.

The old horse hurriedly came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, you hurry up, let's talk about it, I'm in a hurry!" ”

The "manager" glanced at the "second master", and then the mystery was solved.

Judging from the footage taken by the drone, the mining town is no longer what Nantes described before.

The bustling markets have all been shut down, and the large mining areas behind the mountains have also stopped production.

The whole town has been placed under military control, and there will be a centralized food distribution event at noon every day, and many people have yellow faces and thin muscles, and their bodies are not hot at all.

"They don't have much food reserves, and they haven't encountered war during this time, but they don't have the strength to take advantage of the situation to expand their territory." Looking at the video screen, Lao Ma made a judgment.

According to previous information, there were dozens of human survivor bases, large and small, scattered throughout the Northeast, and later gradually merged and merged, forming a situation where four bases coexisted, each with a specialty.

This mining town is rich in minerals, but it is not good at growing food crops. In the past few years, it has been relying on transactions with arsenals and grain stores to obtain food rations.

Now that the grain stores are short of grain, their mining town has naturally cut off the source of food, and they have to implement centralized distribution.

The "second master" suddenly realized: "I see, in this way, the other party's asking price of 90 tons is likely to be their food shortage." ”

"The steward" said with a wicked smile, "yes, so I don't think we need to rush into the city, and in two days they will beg us to go in!" ”

He told him about his plan, anyway, he didn't have to worry about the mutants attacking now, they were outside the city, it was just a little colder.

Now the locust army is well supplied, cutting down more trees to light fires for warmth, burying all pots and stoves at the root of the city wall, and taking turns steaming steamed buns and steamed buns every day.

The smell of these foods wafted over the walls, and the guards couldn't stand it at first, although they could still guarantee two meals a day, but they were always not full, and they were so greedy to see these people outside eating sea plugs every day.

The news quickly reached the civilian community, and the residents asked to go up to the wall to check the situation.

The leader of the other side also insisted: "The extortion of a large amount of food is for the sake of the residents of their town." ”

But the inhabitants had already received a small note at night, which said that their leaders did not allow food to enter the city, in fact, in order to maintain their own rule, purely selfish.

A woman with a quick brain stood up first: "I strongly demand that they be let in at the normal tax price, as long as the grain enters the city, our sisters will not starve to death!" ”

followed by a wad of echoes,

It's all women who are so hungry that they are skinny and bone-ty-faced.

The men of the town were so hungry that they had no strength to toss, they had not received any business for a month, and outside the city there were strong men like wolves and tigers, and they had food in their hands.

The women earned food from them, which they traded with other merchants for necessities, and in this way, the city lived.

These are all taught to them by the "manager", and last night, his strange little robotic insects, carrying these small notes, got into many people's houses.

He had a lot of fun with this kind of incitement and infiltration work, and even had the idea of taking this place for himself.

To survive in the last days, life is the first, and those who have food are uncles!

In the face of the angry scene, the town leader, who had been hiding in the tower all day, finally came out.

This person's face is dark, his steps are vague, he has obvious dark circles, he smokes too much, and his voice is hoarse and aging: "In order to give everyone a way to live, I have tried my best to complain?!" That's it, open the door! ”

The gate was open, but the locust army did not move.

"Second Master" This is revenge, revenge for the last time she came to visit, and she ate a closed door.

The dark circle figured this out and walked out of the city gate with a wry smile.

"Contemptible person, Cao Chongzhi, the magistrate of the town, I haven't seen him before, and I have offended a lot."

The "second master" is naturally sociable, even if it is this kind of person who offended her before, he can greet him with a smile at this time.

She regained the competence she had used to fight in the mall, without showing any intention of revenge, and pushed the reason for not entering the city to the lack of preparation.

The town is not big, and there will definitely be a lot of trouble to accommodate so many of them at one time, at least you have to negotiate the area where you will be stationed after entering the city, how many houses and houses can be used, how to place large equipment, and a large number of cumbersome things before you can enter the city.

Cao Chongzhi gave a thumbs up: "Thoughtful and thoughtful!" ”

By the time they had discussed all this, it was time for lunch again.

Taking advantage of the distribution of food in the mining town, the Flying Locust Army entered the inner city in advance.

This is the result of the discussion between the "manager" and the old horse.

There was a famine among the inhabitants of this town, and the locust army was escorting hundreds of tons of grain, and if they entered rashly, it might cause a robbery, and then it would be bad if it caused a big mess.

While everyone was going to get food, they set up their defenses in order to maintain normal order.

As for the large equipment, it took an afternoon to transport it all into the city.

From this day on, the residents of the mining town can receive two meals a day, Cao Chongzhi in the morning and the locust army in the evening, many people's physical condition began to improve, and the whole town began to recover.

By the way, they entered the city this time, and they didn't pay the gate tax for a pound of rations.

The "manager" was very proud, and was ready to meet Nantes in the future, and he would taunt him.
